Flesh Eating Disease
Manage episode 306169628 series 2853178
In the spring of 2015 Chris faced a life-changing decision. He occupied a hospital bed in St. Mary’s Hospital, a Mayo clinic facility, in Rochester, MN. About a week and a half prior, he had contracted necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating bacteria) from a tiny scratch on his right hand.
He had recently run a Pi-Day race (3.14 miles) in 19:29, which is great for a 40-year-old husband and a father of three. As Chris crossed the finished line, the last thing he imagined was that he would nearly die, have a major portion of his skin removed, need a flap of skin transferred from his left thigh to his right hand and forearm, and incur around $1,000,000 in medical bills.
Chris is now self-employed and is an international speaker who speaks about gratitude and overcoming personal bacteria (negative thoughts).
